Knitting Techniques: Increases & Short Rows
Ready to take your knitting skills a step further? This focused techniques class will help you confidently work shaping and short rows — two essential skills used in garments, shawls, and advanced projects.
A working knowledge of basic knitting is required. Students should already know how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off.
Led by our experienced instructor, Jane, this class is intentionally kept small to ensure personalized guidance, hands-on support, and a relaxed learning environment where every student receives individual attention.
In This Class You Will:
• Read shaping instructions in a pattern or chart
• Work common increase methods
• Knit and understand short rows
• Learn when and why these techniques are used
